Petition to the Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship
- (Ex)-KGB Captain Mikhail Lennikov had no right to enter Canada;
- He had no right to remain in Canada illegally for six years after being ordered deported by the Federal Court;
- He lied to authorities and the Canadian public when he claimed to be a “refugee”;
- He has suffered no ill treatment since returning to Russia, despite many claims by him and his supporters that he would be harmed;
- Canadian law precludes veterans of the Cheka, SMERSH, NKVD or KGB from immigrating here; and
- There are many hundreds of thousands of deserving and legitimate refugees whom this government and other Canadians should give priority to resettling.
